Mechanical waves require matter to travel medium. If there is no substance or matter to travel through, mechanical waves cannot propagate.
Since space is mostly vacuum, there is no medium for waves to travel through: waves sent by the sun (electromagnetic waves) are not mechanical waves
Answer: Thermal Energy is energy resulting from the motion of particles; It is a form of kinetic energy and is transferred as heat; Thermal Energy Transfer can occur by three methods: Conduction; Convection; Radiation; Conduction. Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between . particles of a substance.
Explanation:
Most likely it would dislodge the coconut on the way down due to gravity because on the way up the gravity would slow down the rock but on they down the gravity pulls the rock
